2021 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · BV71 JWO

The 2021 Nissan Qashqai presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 9 October 2025 at 48,476 miles with zero defects recorded. That outcome is significant because the previous test on 4 November 2024 at 37,904 miles had flagged four separate advisories, all relating to tyre wear and rear brake pad wear. The fact that none of those items reappeared in the 2025 test indicates the previous owner addressed the tyre and brake pad issues promptly, suggesting a responsible approach to upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage progression tells a straightforward story. Between the November 2024 test at 37,904 miles and the October 2025 test at 48,476 miles, the vehicle covered 10,572 miles in just under eleven months. That is slightly above the annualised average of roughly 9,695 miles per year calculated over the vehicle's five-year life, pointing to a period of heavier use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in the recorded mileage that would raise concern about a tampered odometer. The record is sparse, with only two entries available, but both are consistent and show a logical progression. The November 2024 advisories warrant attention during any in-person inspection. All four tyres were wearing close to the legal limit and wearing on the edge, which suggests possible tracking misalignment, aggressive driving, or prolonged underinflation. A buyer should check the current tyre condition carefully, looking for uneven wear patterns across all four wheels, and verify whether a wheel alignment has been carried out since the October 2025 test. The rear brake pads were also flagged as wearing thin at that same test. Although the 2025 pass implies replacement was carried out, a buyer should confirm the condition of the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping and check whether the front pads and discs have been serviced in the interim, given the 10,572 miles covered in the past year. Beyond the flagged items, the vehicle's age and mileage place it at a stage where suspension components such as front lower arm bushes, drop links, and shock absorber dust covers should be inspected for deterioration. The Qashqai's MHEV system and turbocharged DIG-T engine demand attention to service records, particularly oil change intervals, as turbocharged units are sensitive to oil starvation if maintenance has been stretched. Underbody corrosion around the rear subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points should also be checked, as these are common five-year-old crossover failure points in the UK climate.
